'Identities' is a feature length documentary, charting the multi coloured, multi cultural transgender community in Ireland. Five personal stories illustrate and give shape to the different but parallel worlds of Transvestism, Transsexualism, Drag, Homosexuality, Sex, Sexual identity, and Gender Dysphoria. The film unfolds as fly on the wall footage introduces us to the world of each character. Their incredible stories are documented in a series of revealing interviews, each narrative preceded by a performance art piece, and more abstract self-representation. Personal histories charting hardship, rejection and discrimination will be placed in a wider social, political and religious context through these characters' personal experiences. At its heart, this is a film about the human spirit. Overcoming stereotype and categorization, we break down the gender construct, allowing personality and human emotion a path to expression.

Después de la explosión de un tren, en un vagón quedan cinco supervivientes: un general, un Lord inglés, un joven alemán llamado Werner, una niña llamada Aimée, y una novelista inglesa llamada Emily que los invita a quedarse en su casa de Umbría mientras se recuperan. Al mismo tiempo que reflexionan sobre sus vidas, llega un inspector de policía que desea investigar el accidente. Cuando el tío americano de Aimée llega para llevársela, se altera el equilibrio del grupo. Al parecer, la casa de Umbría no puede brindarles la felicidad a todos. (FILMAFFINITY)
